Is
there actually such a condition as “highway hypnosis”?
Or is it just plain falling asleep at the wheel? Call it
highway hypnosis, lack of awareness, or whatever.

or parking area and take a nap, get some exercise, or
both.
For
safety, treat drowsiness on the highway as
an emergency.

Driving on steep hills or mountains
is
different from
driving in flat or rolling terrain.
